ABOUT US
Lyn Courtney Psychology Health Clinic was established to provide emphatic psychological services at the highest professional standard. We provide a client-centred approach primarily using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), CBT-based Acceptance Commitment Therapy (CBT-ACT), Dialectic Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI), which are evidence-based therapies.
We view the therapeutic relationship as a partnership between the client and psychologist where the client's problems and goals are identified. Clients are then provided with the tools and support necessary to make effective, positive changes. We assist individuals to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, feelings and/or behaviours so they can reach their full potential and increase psychological wellbeing. We specialize in working with adults, couples, and organizations.
